Some guiding souls from this very site have gotten me into the world of HDTV (thanks Todd & Dave) but it seems I am in need of some experise. Can anybody recommend a reliable system to grab HDTV signals from Cedarburg. I live near the intersection of Evergreen and Washington (Ozaukee Fair Grounds). Davezen2 hooked me up with a Zenith Silver Sensor and it received 36.1 and 12.1 beautifully, but not much else. What can I do?

4-1 should be a strong signal too.  

I don't think there will be anything you can do to get 6-1, as Mr. Lengling has erected something NASA would be proud of in Cedarburg, and he experienced no success.  The mandate is for a power increase later this year from what I understand.

In the meantime, you could pick up this:

I have experienced good results with it in my attic.  Maybe other people will have suggestions too.  You should be able to get the rest of the channels besides 6-1 with the 8-Bay.  That would be my guess.

Welcome to the world of HDTV.

Using that antenna and amp with a Samsung T151, I was getting a reliable signal from all Milwaukee stations except Fox6, and I'm all the way out in Hartford.
However I did have to find the "sweet spot" for positioning the antenna.  Two feet higher or lower, left or right and I would lose the signal.

Have you tried tuning to a channel that you're not getting now, and then moving the antenna around the room until it (hopefully) comes in?
